When Timothy Geithner was asked if the administration is prepared to go
over the Fiscal Cliff if Republicans do not agree to raise taxes on the
wealthy (those earning 250,000 dollars per year or more), he responded
"Absolutely." But when it comes to the US economic problems, does the
tax debate or the Fiscal Cliff debate begin to scratch the surface of
the crisis? We talk to Former Republican strategist Kevin Phillips,
about lessons we can learn from 1775, the subject of his latest book.

Last month Matt O’Connor, founder of Fathers4Justice sent a letter on behalf of the membership to Mr Nick Walker, Clerk of the Justice Committee in the House of Commons to set out our position. As you won't hear much about it from the presstitutes.

We represent 36,000 registered families and are the world’s largest equal parenting
group.

On current projections, in 2014 we will have a larger membership base than the Liberal
Democrats.

Despite this, Fathers4Justice have been denied any representation on any government
group or working party looking at family law reform since our inception in 2001.It is
unthinkable that such an overwhelming constituency of people could be denied
representation if they belonged to any other group in society.

A Ministerial Working Party set up to consider these reforms was neither gender
balanced or representative. It comprised of nine women and just two men.

It should be a prerequisite for the committee to hear the testimonies of the people we
represent given we are the largest group. Token submissions are insufficient.

Historically F4J has repeatedly been denied the opportunity to give any oral testimony
to MP’s.

In 2004 when the Parliamentary Select Committee on Family Law were considering the
matter, Sir Alan Beith (the chairman of this committee), refused to give Fathers4Justice
the opportunity to give oral testimony on this matter.

Sir Bob Geldof also refused to participate at that hearing. He said that if we were not
invited to give oral testimony, the committee could command no respect or legitimacy
as it was denying a voice to the largest constituency of parents affected by decisions
made in secret family courts.

RUSSIA WITH OTHER GROUPS DEBATING FAMILY LAW REFORMS Nadine O'Connor
from Fathers4Justice with Ken Sanderson from Families Need Fathers and
Nick Woodall from the Centre for Separated Families and a solicitor.
Remarkable debate about proposed 'changes' to family law. Three
remarkable admissions; One, that FNF is not a 'fathers rights'
organisation. Two, that the Centre for Separated Families opposes shared
parenting. Three, that the person with the biggest cojones in the room
and the only one asking for equal rights and campaigning for the 3 men
in the room was the woman from F4J. Source

Max Keiser and Stacy Herbert peer into the British future and see a future of scum villages and royal baby Snookies as Bank of England executive, Andy Haldane, says the loss of income caused by banks is as bad as World War 2. The Artist Taxi Driver explains what austerity means to the UK. And, while admitting the nation's wealth has been lost to banker crimes, the cover up continues as Lord Stevenson, formerly of HBOS, claims it was mere incompetence that saw the bank nearly collapse. In the second half, Max Keiser talks to Tim Street of UK Uncut about the protest group's successful campaigns against Starbucks and other multinationals. They also address how to stop every new tax dollar being sucked straight into the black hole of bank's fraudulent debt schemes. Source

Submitted by Tyler Durden:It took one month for the 2013-2014 Greek medium-term unemployment target rate to be hit. The target rate? A grotesque, all time high 26%. Because as Elstat reports, this is what Greek unemployment already was
in the month of September. Which means that at the time Greece was
preparing its latest "Third Greek Bailout" projections in November, the
rate was already well above the long-term target. Elstat also tells us
that in September, the total number of actively employed Greek workers
(including government) was a tiny 3,695,053. The number of persons
unemployed: 1,295,203, while the inactive ranks swelled to 3,373,692. As
a reminder, last month's 25.4% unemployment rate has been promptly surpassed in a few weeks. Finally, that powderkeg of conflict, youth unemployment, was a jawdropping 56.4%.

"Somebody clamps a deep packet
inspection thing on your cable which reads every packet and reassembles
the web pages, cataloguing them against your name, address and telephone
number either to be given to the government when they ask for it or to
be sold to the highest bidder – that's a really serious breach of
privacy,”Tim
Berners-Lee

RT:Members of the United Nation’s International Telecommunications Union
(ITU) have agreed to work towards implementing a standard for the
Internet that would allow for eavesdropping on a worldwide scale.At a conference in Dubai this week, the ITU members decided to adopt
the Y.2770 standard for deep packet inspection, a top-secret proposal by
way of China that will allow telecom companies across the world to more
easily dig through data passed across the Web.According to the
UN, implementing deep-packet inspection, or DPI, on such a global scale
will allow authorities to more easily detect the transferring and
sharing of copyrighted materials and other protected files by finding a
way for administrators to analyze the payload of online transmissions,
not just the header data that is normally identified and interpreted.

By Nora Claypool: Mainstream media is having a field day with the fiscal cliff threat,
with its usual flourish of fear mongering on tax matters and all things
budget related.However, the voices of reason are resonating among some who deny any real financial dangers exist since the government is hiding trillions of dollars from us in the usual esoteric way they do business.Enter Walter Burien and the Comprehensive Annual Financial (CAFR), a
second set of books hidden from the public that fully discloses the
massive amounts of liquidity governments at federal, state and local
levels have squirreled away and carefully not mentioned to us.These off-budget funds are composed of profits our government has
made through investing our tax dollars in large corporations. The
federal government owns 70 percent, in some cases, of the global
corporations who suck huge profits out of the world economy and engage
other nations in conflict for nefarious reasons, such as control of key
resources.Some ten years have passed since Walter Burien, an accountant in New
Jersey, stumbled upon the CAFR while looking over the Budget and Finance reports of that state.He discovered huge discrepancies connected with the N.J. Turnpike and
other cash generating state owned projects which produced revenues that
were not listed in the state budget as income.There were $188 billion in liquid funds that were never disclosed to
the public. What he effectively uncovered through gaining access to the
CAFR was the huge swindle government has been perpetrating on us, taking
our tax dollars and investing them for profits, and keeping those
profits for themselves rather than using them fairly to increase
services or reduce taxes.

By Madison Ruppert:Thanks to a grant from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) – the Pentagon’s research agency behind mind-bending projects like weaponized hallucinations
– the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has begun to develop
miniature robots that may eventually pave the way for something like the
fictional Transformers.DARPA getting behind this type of research is hardly surprising given their new focus on robots that can approach human beings in their efficiency, increasingly lifelike humanoid robots, cheap robots capable of changing apparent shape and temperature, unbelievably fast legged robots, mind-controlled robots, etc.In a recent MIT press release,
they characterize their newly developed reconfigurable robots as the
“robot equivalent of a Swiss army knife” since this technology could
have a wide range of uses.The researchers dubbed the tiny robots milli-motein, which is
described as “a name melding its millimeter-sized components and a
motorized design inspired by proteins, which naturally fold themselves
into incredibly complex shapes.”Indeed, as you can see in the below video, the design, conceived by Neil Gershenfeld, head of MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms,
visiting scientist Ara Knaian and graduate student Kenneth Cheung, is
quite clearly inspired by proteins, thus giving the tiny robots
potentially limitless applications:

By Dave Truman: Last year was the first time that I came to this country. Nestled
between the two South American giants of Brazil and Argentina, Uruguay
is often overlooked by gringo travelers,who, if they do come here at all, rarely venture beyond Montevideo, or the plush resort towns of its eastern coast.When I came here in 2011, my first sight of the country was when I
crossed the bridge on foot that marks its northern frontier from
Brazil’s Rio Grande do Sul. I was welcomed by a single border policeman,
who shook my hand enthusiastically.Hmm, I thought, that’s not the sort of welcome you get when you cross
the border into Britain or the US these days. Maybe this country is
going to be different?There is something reassuringly old-fashioned about the rural
hinterland that makes up most of the land-mass of Uruguay. I don’t mean
that in a patronizing way at all. I had grown up in northern England of
the 1960s, a period of rapid change, when everything “old fashioned” had
been swept away by the advance of a pristine plastic modernity. The
problem was, of course, that the plastic soon faded and cracked.From the perspective of the twenty-first century, what was once seen
as inviolably modern, now looks jaded and is as worn out as the promises
our politicians made at the time about the “white heat of technology”
transforming our lives. In fact, it wasn’t the physical surroundings so
much as the disruption and dismantling of our communities that brought
about the most fundamental transformation for us.Those changes are now in their terminal stages in my northern home
country. Here, in rural Uruguay, for now at least, that is most
certainly not the case.

Dear Reader

Are YOU Involved or Institutionalized? Our belief that the global economic crisis would persist and deepen is being vindicated and current events are now as clear as ever on the matter. Time for all of us to wake up, stand up and be counted or continue to lose all our liberties. Protect your homes and families. The sun will still rise but financial chaos and suffering due to the global fascist banksters' greed and corruption, slaughter due to the MIC's directed world wars in our name etc. is not pretty. We are feeling the effect on our society the size and like of which we have never known.

We are way past being surprised at the blanket suppression of this information by the BBC and main stream media propaganda machines. Information is clearly available elsewhere and unchallenged, accounts for a far more realistic rendition of what we have actually seen and what we continue to see develop, whilst the main stream news put out leaves many confused and bewildered, 99.9% of us wrong footed and the awakened indignant. As we can now see, the apparently 'soft fascist' powers that be aim to block these alternative avenues of information. Book up, "Long Live the Evolution."Feel free to kopimi. Angelo Agathangelou.

P.S. The MHRM, are calling out the constant misinformation disseminated by and maintain our open challenge especially to western radical feminists, to point out just one area where government in the UK, Europe or anywhere else in the English speaking world disadvantages women and girls when compared with men and boys, ...the wage disparity myth having long been debunked by serious academics and statisticians. So far this challenge has remained unanswered. Western feminism is obsolete.

George Orwell's Message: to everyone on the Internet

N.B.

These pages exist because we believe information from all perspectives should be aired, they do not necessarily reflect our views unless explicitly stated. We do not intend to cause offense, but we feel there is a need for such a shift in our society that to call it change rather than evolution would be an understatement. A velvet revolution towards living with reality for the individual, the family and society. A revolution towards living within our means and taking responsibility for ourselves, instead of mortgaging the future of our children to bloated leech faux democracy for the benefit of Ponzi 'banksters' and The Military Industrial Complex.
